Description

Bramerton Grange is a house, originally a farmhouse, with construction spanning various dates, primarily the 17th century, with 18th and later alterations. It is built of brick, featuring roofs covered in black glazed pantiles. The east side of the house, two storeys and three bays, is notable for its late 18th-century crenellated parapets on each bay, which are set back from the bay to their right. The northern bay represents the return of the original house, dating back to around 1650, and displays English bond brickwork. There are two 19th-century two-light cross casement windows on each floor, separated by a platband. The roof is hipped, gabled to meet the main roof. The central bay is lower in height. A timber door is framed by Tuscan columns supporting a dentiled pediment, with an overlight. Decorative extensions to the pediment cover narrow margin lights on either side of the door. A sash window with glazing bars is located on the first floor. A platband runs at first floor level, continuing into the south bay, which is virtually identical to the north bay, creating an uneasy 18th-century symmetry on the facade. These alterations were applied to an extension of an original house built between approximately 1660 and 1670. The rear of the house contains a gabled roof with a ridge stack positioned to the right. Three further stacks, all 19th-century rebuilds, rise through the roof slope at regular intervals. Only one bay of the circa 1650 house remains visible on the north front; a platband continues, and scars of two blocked windows are visible, one subsequently partially obscured by a rising 19th-century stack. Beyond the stack, the gable head of the rear range is visible.

The rear range, dating from around 1670 to 1680, is two storeys with a dormer attic, spanning five bays in an irregular arrangement. A doorway is centrally located to the right, beneath an open pediment, with a false fanlight above a 20th-century glazed door. There are single-story canted window bays, built around 1900 using gault brick, on either side of the doorway. The windows are primarily sashes with glazing bars, most featuring rusticated surrounds and pilaster strips that form rebated panels. A deep platband runs at first floor level, incorporating dentiles, and a moulded eaves platband is also present. Four gabled dormers are fitted with casements in the roof.

Inside, an open-well staircase, dating from approximately 1670 to 1680, rises to the attic storey. It features square newel posts with rebated panels, ball finials, and drop pendants, along with a moulded closed string, fat turned balusters, and a moulded handrail.
